Permanent makeup or cosmetic tattooing encompasses a variety of different cosmetic procedures, including microblading, nano brows, lip blushing, permanent eyeliner, and more. While the process is similar to tattooing, it’s not exactly the same and requires specialized machines and pigments created specifically for the PMU industry. The end results also have vastly different goals. Whereas tattoos are meant to last a lifetime and stand out as artistic body modification, permanent makeup lasts only a few years before it needs to be refreshed and should blend seamlessly into clients’ natural skin tones and hair color.
Permanent makeup pigments are similar to tattoo inks but not identical. Both are composed of a solvent (typically alcohol, glycerin, water, or witch hazel) that carries various organic or mineral pigments that provide that actual color. Permanent makeup pigments are not as densely saturated as tattoo inks, giving them a gentler color that is easier to match to skin tones. Additionally, permanent makeup pigment is applied only into the epidermis, the outermost layer of skin. Their lighter composition as well as the shallower depth of their application means that permanent makeup pigments generally fade within 1 - 3 years depending on the specific procedure and client, whereas tattoo ink will stay in the skin forever.
The two main components in any microblading pigment are the pigment itself – the compounds that actually carry the color – and the solvent, usually glycerin, witch hazel, alcohol, or water. The exact ingredients used to make microblading and other permanent makeup pigments will vary from brand to brand. The European Union has some of the strictest standards for pigments used in cosmetic tattooing, so to know that you’re buying safe, high-quality products, look for pigments that are CPNP-registered and EU-compliant.
